I've been using both hot and spicey and the original for over 10 years and recommend both without any hesitation. For those of us who like a little more kick...try adding a couple of habenero peppers to the mix (usually make 7-10 lbs at a time). I usually let it marinate for 24 to 48 hours before dehydrating for 5 1/2 hours.

Deliciously hot & spicy

Feb. 3, 2013

If you are looking for a real kick of heat & spice, this hot & spicy jerky seasoning is the one for you! We've always purchased the original mix (which is truly amazing) but our family wanted us to kick it up a notch in the spice/heat dept. We added our own pepper flakes to original flavor but it didn't add the kick we really wanted. I purchased the smaller pack of the hot & spicy to tried out and my husband and I were immediately hooked. The hot & spicy flavor is phenominal but it is not for the faint of heart. This is for those of you who really like to hot & spicy food. It has the kind of heat that hits you right away but keeps you wanting more and more. With that said, I just ordered the 25 pack. Venison jerky never tasted so good! Nesco, thank you for such a wonderful product.

Want to be a hit with your jerky loving buddies. Try this spice and watch them reach for more. This stuff is awesum, just enough to offer you that heat loving taste, just cool enough to have you wanting another piece. I love it and my friends love it and if that's not good enough then try it yourself. You will be thanking me in your comments after you give this spice a try. And here is a little tip, Make Lots, Joey
